History DethroningMoment / SpongeBobSquarePants

* ''Tropers/{{ZehMonsieur}}'': It's not a bad episode altogether, but "Krabby Land" has a particular moment that I cannot stomach at all. In the episode, Krabs opens up an "amusement park" next to the Krusty Krab made out of junk in the hope that children will play there and purchase his food during summer vacation. To make sure they don't leave early, he has [=SpongeBob=] entertain the kids to stall for time until Krabby the Clown arrives, when he's really just counting the children's money. Spongy puts himself through physical hell keeping the kids occupied, going from pouring bubble mixture into his eyes, to being run over by a truck, to being ripped in half. The real low for the episode comes in when [=SpongeBob=], already given much of himself, rushes into Krabs' office, clearly bruised and missing his limbs, simply telling Krabs he doesn't know if he can stall them for much longer. Krabs' response to his hardest-working employee amounts to little more than "piss off and stop thinking of yourself;" and when Krabs finds out the kids are playing with [=SpongeBob=]'s arms and legs, he's concerned not for the yellow guy's safety, but that the children will break his windows. In the past, Krabs has been shown to be caring of [=SpongeBob=]'s well-being (giving him time off to get his mind back in order in "Pickles;" sending him back home when he's clearly ill in "Suds;" etc.), so seeing him act so callously and disregard [=SpongeBob=]'s physical health in favor of money would not seem out of place in a post-movie episode. Even if he does get what's coming by the end of the episode, it's still quite jarring to see the normally affable and friendly Krabs behave like the money-grubber he'd be Flanderized into.

* ''Tropers/{{Anonymous}}'': To prove that not everything pre-season 4 was an outstanding classic, "Sleepy Time" shows that all the characters' {{Jerkass}} tendencies went as far as the first season, where after [=SpongeBob=] visits the character's dreams and ruins them, and Sandy, showing that she's a SmallNameBigEgo, even in the first season said to him: "Do us all a favor and stay out of our dreams", accompanied by Squidward's "Don't we get enough of you during the day, [=SpongeBob=]?!" and everyone, including his so-called "friends" yells at him for getting into their dreams. Alright, how did they possibly know that [=SpongeBob=] snuck into their dreams where he could've just happened to be in them?! I can understand Squidward and all, but the rest of the characters, including Mr Krabs (who back then, cared about [=SpongeBob=], despite his [[MoneyFetish obsession with money]]) and Sandy?! Even Gary and Pearl show up despite the fact that their dreams were the only two that [=SpongeBob=] didn't ruin! That is just the lowest of the low and one of the weaker bunch of the first three seasons!

* megatroper123456: This is the first episode (chronologically) that I really didn't like, "Valentine's Day". Not only is it kind of random for [=SpongeBob=] to be doing a special that counters the main character's asexuality, but Patrick is pretty a much a bratty, childish jerk, throughout the whole thing. Him getting so unhappy, after his best friend gives him, what he considered, his Valentine's gift (a friendly hand shake), it completely killed the mood as he just gloomily went around the Valentine's Day Carnival, unusally pissed with what [=SpongeBob=] had done. Not to mention, at the end, he goes batshit insane, completely destroying the carnival, and oh, that part where the whole crowd is trying to get Patrick to look around to Sandy and Patrick is like "No, I'm just practicing my prick-ishness for the Post-Movie episodes!" is pretty grating. So yeah, Patrick constantly pestering [=SpongeBob=] for his gift, acting like a 5-year old when it appears to be underwhelming, wrecking everything in sight (also inadvertedly at the end when the chocolate bubble bursts) and getting no punishment of any kind make this one of my least favourite episodes, and definitely my least-favourite Pre-Movie episode.

** curiouskat: Don't forget to mention that Patrick dumps garbage all over [=SpongeBob=]'s swollen thumb--a perfect representation of this episode, might I say--and this causes the thumb to discolor to a putrid purple hue. The end of the episode doesn't save it either; Mr. Krabs decides to nip the problem in the bud by plucking the woodchip out. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis On. Screen.]] [=SpongeBob=]'s thumb [[NauseaFuel gushes pus and ooze]] and then the episode ends with Squidward injuring himself for a [[YankTheDogsChain Yank the Dog's Chain]] moment. Why does this episode exist again?

* [[Tropers/LinKeuiSwampert Lin Keui Swampert:]] Karate Island. To summarize, [=SpongeBob=] is scammed to believe he's the Karate Master ([[JumpedTheShark hi-ya!]]). He and Sandy travel to Karate Island to get the reward, [=SpongeBob=] being a blatant [[TookALevelInJerkass asshole]] along the way. [=SpongeBob=] beats up a few [[BadBadActing obvious actors]] and is whisked away. Sandy leaves, only to have to rescue [=SpongeBob=]. [[AssholeVictim "Sandy! I need you! I can't handle this myself!"]] Sandy fights a few foes in what was trying to be a {{Homage}} to Bruce Lee-esque action scenes but turns out to just be [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment unnecessary and time consuming]], and eventually defeats the scammer, trying to get [=SpongeBob=] to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking buy a condo]]. Granted, it gives [=SpongeBob=] a tad of development, but of course [[TooGoodToLast it doesn't last]]. The worst part? In the above mentioned "Best Day Ever" marathon, it's the Number One voted spot, and it's now always played with "Best Day Ever".

** [=SenorCornholio=]: Well, looks like it's finally time to pop my [=SpongeBob DMoS=] cherry. And I found a moment from ''Sponge on the Run'' that truly qualifies for me. The movie by itself is okay; it had some funny moments, a few neat little gags, and a few cute character moments where the rest of the main cast comes to save [=SpongeBob=] from being executed by Poseidon. But the whole thing comes crashing down when, in the middle of the movie's climax, the characters all take a break from the plot to explain how they all met at Camp Coral. This is where Nickelodeon's ExecutiveMeddling rears its ugly head in the worst way possible, as it's explicitly clear that this is supposed to promote their upcoming spinoff of the same name. Now, I could go on about how the late Stephen Hillenburg specifically mentioned that he didn't want a spinoff, but that would be beating a dead horse at this point, so let's go into the three big reasons why this moment sucks on its own merits. First off is obvious: it retcons everyone's backstories for this as [=SpongeBob=], Gary, Patrick, Sandy, Squidward ''and'' Mr. Krabs conveniently all met each other at this specific location. I can get [=SpongeBob=] meeting Gary there, and ''maybe'' him meeting Patrick and Squidward for the first time would have been nice. That said, retconning [=SpongeBob=]'s first meeting with Sandy (i.e. the second episode of the entire series) and Mr. Krabs' backstory episode with Plankton felt nothing short of insulting. Secondly, the flashbacks aren't even fun. They feel distinctly un-[=SpongeBob=] in how cutesy and diabetes-inducing they are, with the only remotely funny gags turning up during the talent show in Squidward's flashback. Outside of that, it's just uninteresting shlock that doesn't match the spirit of the series in its golden age, revival era, or even its DorkAge. But the third and absolute biggest sin of this scene isn't either of those very glaring issues; it's that it deliberately puts the movie to a screeching halt just so it can have a series of back-to-back flashbacks to a spinoff show that people are already on the fence about. This blatant act of self-promotion is something that films like ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'' get criticized for, except in those movies you could argue that the plot is still moving forward to some tiny extent. Here, you could remove every flashback and cut to the chase [[JustForPun (literally)]] and nothing of value would be lost. This is the part that actually sucked any and all good will I had for this movie out of my being; at least with my other listed moments, they never tarnished my enjoyment of a work and could still be seen as fun in their own right, even if I didn't enjoy the product. But something about this just felt dirty to me; it not only tramples on a dead man's over two decade-long legacy, but it actively breaks its own story to do so, while making you feel sympathy for the movie's staff and cast and mourn WhatCouldHaveBeen. A bad episode can be discounted enitrely as it's just one out of hundreds, but a stunt like this shows just how little Nickelodeon truly cares for its own beloved franchise outside of its brand. [[ThisIsUnforgivable And that, in my eyes, can never be forgiven.]] "In memory of Stephen Hillenburg" my [[SoundEffectBleep *dolphin noise*]] tailfin.

* ''Tropers/{{ShinyRaikou}}'': Not the entire episode, but "Pressure" definitely has a Dethroning Moment of Suck. Sandy takes off her helmet and suit, throwing them on the ground. Note for a moment that she needs those to fucking breathe. What do her 'friends' do? They laugh at her. [[MoralEventHorizon You can see her lungs shrivel up and they just laugh.]] She finds a pickle jar and puts it on just in time. And her friends continue to mock her for it! Dude, not funny! It doesn't even have the defense of being made after Season 3!
* ''Tropers/{{haroldflower}}'': For me it's definitely "Born Again Krabs" because of one specific moment. I have no idea why people think that Krabs became flanderized after the movie- clearly it started way before that and this moment solidifies it. When the Flying Dutchman accuses him of being cheap and tries to send him to Davey Jones' Locker, [=SpongeBob=] sticks up for Krabs. But here's the DMOS, [[MoralEventHorizon Krabs sells [=SpongeBob=]'s soul to the Dutchman for 62 cents]]. The Krabs who comforted [=SpongeBob=] when he cried in "Squeaky Boots?" The Krabs who cried with grief over [=SpongeBob=]'s apparent deaths in "Hooky" and "Dying for Pie?" The Krabs who worried about [=SpongeBob=] when he was sick in "Suds?" That Krabs died a long, long time ago. Because that Krabs would never, ever even think about selling the little guy's soul to what is the undersea equivalent of the Devil, and send him to the undersea equivalent of Hell. Even Squidward of all people is disgusted by Krabs' behavior. "One Coarse Meal" is nothing- This is the episode that ruined any goodness of Krabs' character, because he gleefully attempted to send the lovable, innocent, sweet [=SpongeBob=] to Davy Jones locker.

** Tropers/{{chidoriss}}: The absolute worst part is the ending, where [=SpongeBob=] looks right at the camera and says, "I guess crying does solve your problems after all." What a FamilyUnfriendlyAesop for the kids.

* Tropers/KoopaKid17: "All That Glitters" ruined [=SpongeBob=] forever for me. I could go on forever about why I hated this episode from [=SpongeBob's=] {{Wangst}} to him spending half the episode naked (because {{naked people are funny}}? [[SarcasmMode Right]]). Since I can only choose one moment that sutil makes my blood boil to this day, it would be the part where the replacement spatula [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tells off SpongeBob]] for [[DisproportionateRetribution making it flip Krabby Patties]], hands down. The thing suddenly [[TookALevelInJerkass talks down to SpongeBob]] [[RichBitch because it feels the job is too menial for its status]]. It then [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere runs away when [=SpongeBob=] tries to get it back]], [[KickTheDog though not before continuing to give jab after jab at him]]. Easily a candidate for the most mean-spirited scene in the show's history considering the sacrifice poor [=SpongeBob=] was willing to make for it.

Given the fact that it has been on a air for a [[LongRunner a very long time]], the undersea creature ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and his Bikini Bottom friends are bound to have moments we will always remember, moments we can't remember, and [[DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck moments that we wish we'd forget and belong in]] '''''[[LargeHam DAVY JONES' LOCKER!!!]]'''''

** Kirby0189: "One Coarse Meal" might as well have been called "watch us turn a likable character into TheScrappy". Mr. Krabs abusing Plankton would have been more than enough, but him [[MoralEventHorizon laughing at Plankton's attempted suicide]] (and by the way writers, suicide is never funny) is pretty much the worst moment of this already horrible episode, and a complete bastardization of the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Mr. Krabs I know]]. I can't even think of any suggestions for how they could have salvaged this. How did this ever get approved to go on air?

* [[Tropers/LinKeuiSwampert Lin Keui Swampert:]] Karate Island.

** Kishou: To be fair, [=SpongeBob=] was in no way aware of what Patrick was doing to get Black Lemonade. Just that they need more for the growing line of customers. That still doesn't excuse Patrick though, or justify a few laughs I got from the overwhelmingly dark premise. What especially bothered me was that Squidward was brutally abused, and Patrick basically got away with it. Sure, Squidward took over the lemonade business when he realized people liked his ink, but once they found out what they were drinking, they all puked inside his house, [[CallBack just like that one customer did when he tried Patrick's first batch of lemonade]]. Sponge and Pat offer him a cookie, which would have been a PetTheDog moment to end on after he's been terrorized and mistreated all episode... only to reveal the cookies were made from spider eggs. By the same spider that Patrick used to scare Squid earlier, no less. So he squirts ink again, and spiders rush out of his mouth. What the hell were these guys thinking?!

** Izzy1: Another thing about that episode that bothered me was the snail food scene, where [=SpongeBob=] was shown being able to make great-tasting snail food, ended up going nowhere. It could have been expanded so that [=SpongeBob=] actually makes a new business out of it and shuns Mr. Krabs' offering for his job back. But nope, [[StatusQuoIsGod everything HAS to go back to normal by the end]] (admittedly, they probably would have done that even with the snail food business). If they weren't going to expand upon it, why bother to even have it at all?

** ''Tropers/{{ilovededede}}'': As gross as Squidward sneezing ink was, two gross moments that weren't sneezing ink REALLY stood out for me - the first being Patrick ripping a band-aid off his armpit in a grotesque manner, and the other being Patrick ripping open his skin to show Squidward his internal organs (complete with his intestines TALKING). The episode was already a slog enough but those two moments really cinched how bad this episode is, and as someone who thinks the show has drastically improved in the post-sequel era, ESPECIALLY in Season 11, it really is hard to imagine we ended up getting a dud like this...but I guess it's natural in long-running shows like this.

** MrReviser121: Ironically, I hate how this episode has [[KarmaHoudini Mr. Krabs]] treated, of all people. Long story short, he tries to frame [=SpongeBob=] for stealing the secret ingredient to the Krabby Patty Secret Formula and get him arrested, but screws it up by [[WhatAnIdiot pointing at SpongeBob with the bottle of the secret ingredient]] and confesses that he stole it because, well, he's a cheapskate. Krabs gets arrested and the judge sentences him to sell Krabby Patties for free for a whole day, to which Mr. Krabs laments that he couldn't bear to see that. Cut to [=SpongeBob=] giving away free Krabby Patties...while Mr. Krabs is manhandled by two policefish, [[EyeScream by his freakin' eyestalks]], in a chair screaming due to being forced to watch his food being sold for free; And the policefish are laughing at this. Really, writers?! You get Mr. Krabs get punished for being a {{Jerkass}} by having him be [[ColdBloodedTorture psychologically and physically]] [[PoliceBrutality tortured by a pair of sadistic cops?!]] Where's the justice in that?; As much well-deserved and satisfying that punishment was, it still made me feel [[UnintentionallySympathetic bad for that son of a bitch!]]

* Ztyran: The ending of "Gone" was a good example for me. Instead of it being a horrible nightmare or something, it's that everyone, even his friends have spent a week having a holiday called 'No [=SpongeBob=] Day,' doing things like burning him in effigy. Now while I can understand Plankton, Squidward, and Mrs. Puff, the others make no sense. This included Krabs—who makes a fortune off the guy—and his best friends, Sandy and Patrick. And Patrick's excuse that everyone needs time away from [=SpongeBob=]'s laugh is a bit of a lame excuse.
